Car share bays belong to someone else
Bays painted or signposted for car share, including Zilch bays, are not Mevo bays, even when they're empty. A Mevo left in one will be ticketed or towed, and the cost comes back to the trip.
In Wellington, most vehicles do not need to returned to where you found it.
End your trip in any approved park inside the Mevo zone, the shaded area on the map in the app. It covers the central city from Thorndon, Oriental Bay to part sof Newtown, plus Wellington Airport.
Where can I end my trip?
Every Mevo carries a council permit, so you can leave it at no cost in:
Metered parks (you don't need to pay the meter)
Coupon parks
P120 or longer parks, such as P120, P180 and P240
The Mevo bays at Wellington Airport
Where can't I end my trip?
Any bay painted or signposted for car share, including Zilch bays
P60 or shorter, including P5, P10 and P30
Clearways and bus lanes, even outside their hours
Bus stops, taxi stands and loading zones
Mobility parks and reserved spaces
Resident parking zones
EV charging bays
Supermarket, private and commercial carparks, and driveways
No stopping areas and broken yellow lines
Anywhere outside the shaded zone in the app
Check the sign for later in the day
Your park has to stay legal around the clock, because you don't know when the next member will book the car.
A metered park that becomes a clearway at 4pm is not a suitable park. Read the whole sign, and look along the kerb for dashed yellow lines, which usually mean a part time bus stop or clearway.
Before you walk away
Take a photo of the car showing the park and the nearest sign. If a ticket turns up later, that photo settles it.
Leave at least 30% fuel in the tank.
End the trip in the app and check the car has locked.
What about parking during my trip?
Treat the car like your own. Park legally and pay any carpark charges along the way.
Only the park where you end your trip has to be on the approved list.
What if I park in the wrong place?
Parking tickets and towing costs come back to the member who parked the car, plus our administration fee. If the car has to be moved, recovery costs apply too.
Not sure about a park?
Find another one, or start a chat in the app before you end the trip. We'd much rather answer the question than send you a ticket.
